I'm sorry, people, but I lied. (throws arms up in air) I lied to you and all your kin. There are two chapters until the end! Very sorry. "I know. Lock him in the irons, right?"
Disclaimer: Me no owns Barbrossa, or Elizabeth, or Jack(as much as we all would love to) I only own my dear, dear Rachel!
===============
He'd done it again. He'd killed the only person he ever cared for. And for what, to become alive, like her.
Yes, that was it! He wanted to be alive again. He wanted to be real so he could love her the way she was meant to be loved.
It was a little too late for that now, wasn't it? Now, she sat on that despicable island with the one man that he loathed the most. She sat on that island with the man that caused all the pain and misery to flow the way that it did in his life. Why the hell did he do that?
He loved Elizabeth! With all his heart and soul, he knew he did. So then, why was he watching that island sink into the horizon? Because…
Because he loved Rachel? Was Elizabeth just a replacement for Rachel after all? Was she simply a second chance at loving Rachel because she looked like her aunt? Is that all his love was based on? Her looks? The way she held herself? The way she ate, drank, and slept? It seemed to be enough at first, but now…
Now…what now?
Now he's off to kill her true love. So he could love her? What kind of man does that?
Apparently me.
Isle De Marta was approaching. It was his last chance to about face. Do it now! You're going to end up hurting yourself in the end! Do it!
He pounded his fist against the side of the ship. No! Take what you can! My life; I'm taking back my life. Give nothing back! She's not mine, but she's gotten herself too involved. She has to experience the same pain.
Pain. To have pain seep through his bones. He watched the crimson stain his shirt. He looked to Elizabeth, her eyes wide with fear and suffering. Rachel's eyes. To feel again. Ah, to feel.
"I feel…cold."

I know I'm gonna ruin the moment right here, but…um…I'd just like to say (sniff) (tear)….ok that's all!
Oh, and one last note! If anyone got confuzzled by the last chapter or this one….Ain't time travel Great!!!!
